Best Answer

If the distance between the person shooting at the criminal and the criminal is large enough, then the criminal can hear the bullet and pull the trigger before the bullet strikes him (depends on his reaction time. If the distance is too small for the criminal to react before the bullet, the chance of his pulling the trigger with a bullet in his head is small.

It's unlikely for a criminal to maintain control and be capable of pulling the trigger if they have been shot in the head. Severe head trauma would likely incapacitate them immediately.

How serious of a charge is falseimprisonment?

Well false imprisonment is another way of saying holding hostage without the hostage situation, if that makes sense. You (or someone) are illegaly detaining someone without reason or proof. If a police did this, the officer would probably be fired and the city/station sued heavily for false imprisonment. If it were another person, it would probably turn into an almost hostage situation and the detainee would be arrested for false imprisonment. Usually this conforms to some sort of police station holding the person and a writ of habeus corpus would force the detained to be released unless further proof is shown of their illegal acts.
